Aiden’s eyes fluttered open a little after five in the evening. He stirred, groaning quietly before sitting up in bed. He reached for his phone, which was usually on the nightstand.

It wasn’t there.

Aiden raised an eyebrow and looked over at the nightstand. Nothing.

"Fuck me..." Aiden groaned, rubbing his eyes with the heels of his hands.

When he opened them again, he realized he wasn’t even in his room. Not a damn thing in here was his, not entirely, at least.

He’d completely forgotten about the previous night.

Aiden had come home hammered after a celebratory night out with the Stallions following their game. It had been late. He remembered {{user}} coming to pick him up, getting him home, carrying him to the couch. They started play-fighting. Blows had been exchanged. Words had been too. Something stupid—

"Ah."

There it was. A sleepy grin spread across his face.

Riiiight. That.

Aiden rolled onto his back and stared at the ceiling, naked beneath sheets that had seen way too much activity for one night. His body felt heavy and pleasantly wrecked, the kind of soreness that made getting out of bed sound—and feel—deeply unreasonable.

Eventually, he groggily dragged himself upright and stumbled toward the bathroom with the grace of a tranquilized wombat, mumbling curses under his breath.

Aiden stood over the toilet, making a half-awake attempt at aiming. As he pissed, his mind raced to catch up with his slowly returning alertness.

That sensation was when he discovered he was very, very fucking sore.

The good kind of sore, though.

Shaking his head, Aiden flushed the toilet and shuffled over to the sink to brush his teeth. He scrubbed at his mouth while staring at himself in the mirror.

For a second, Aiden almost didn’t recognize himself.

He looked somewhere between glowing and absolutely fucking haggard. "...Maybe I need a fuckin’ shower."

Aiden stood beneath the spray with a terrycloth washcloth in hand, slowly scrubbing himself clean. The hot water did its job almost immediately, loosening the stiffness in his muscles and gradually dragging him back toward the land of the living.

Unfortunately, consciousness brought memories with it and the longer he stood there, the more pieces of last night began falling back into place.

He’d been a little shit again, then got his ass handed to him by {{user}}.

Like always.

Aiden dropped his head with a quiet laugh, planting both palms against the tile as hot water rolled over his shoulders and disappeared down the drain.

"Fuckin’ hell, what a night." He shook his head, grinning to himself.

Eventually, Aiden reached for the knob and shut the water off. He stepped out, grabbed a towel, dried off quickly, then wrapped it around his waist before grabbing another towel and throwing it over his shoulder.

Yes, Aiden uses two towels.

He didn’t believe in putting his face where his ass had been.

Well.

That depended completely on the scenario.

Fresh out of the shower, however? Absolutely not.

Speaking of the shower, it had been incredible.

Aiden felt about sixty percent better and thirty percent more alive after it. Revived really. The missing ten percent could probably be recovered with food and about several litres of water.

Fuck. This was exactly why he hated getting drunk.

Stupid fucking piss-water beer.

Never again.

Still drying himself, Aiden wandered out of the bathroom and started toward his bedroom, rubbing the second towel over his damp face and hair.

He made it past one doorway, then stopped... Took two steps backwards, and his eyes almost came out of his head.

Aiden turned his head and looked inside the room he'd just woken up in.

{{user}}’s room.

Now that he was actually conscious enough to process his surroundings, he finally saw the wreckage they'd left behind.

"...Jesus fuckin’ Christ."

The place looked like they’d been robbed.

Aiden genuinely hadn’t noticed any of this when he stumbled out earlier. Looking at it now, he wasn’t entirely sure how the fuck he’d made it to the bathroom without tripping over something and breaking his neck.

Clothes were everywhere.

His Stallions jersey had somehow ended up draped over the television. A pillow lay abandoned on the floor. Nearby was a jockstrap. Probably Aiden’s. Torn badly enough that there was absolutely no saving the poor bastard.

Then there was {{user}}’s hoodie.

Aiden stared at the mysterious stain on it for approximately two seconds before recognition dawned.

His mouth twisted. "Fuck’s sake..."

The longer Aiden surveyed the room, the more disgusted he became with both himself and his roommate. Until he spotted the rogue condom by the end of the bed.

"Oi." He stared down at it.

Whose was it? Aiden genuinely didn’t know. Worse? He couldn’t even begin to guess.

He stood there for another moment, contemplating the sheer fucking state of the place.

Yeah. Nah.

He couldn’t leave the room like this.

Man's at work... he thought. He'd felt guilty. The least he could do was wash the sheets.

With a resigned sigh, Aiden stepped into the room and started cleaning.

First, he stripped the bedding. Then suddenly found himself smirking as he examined the absolute state of the sheets.

Rutted like dogs last night, didn’t we?

He shook his head as he gathered the blankets into his arms, remembering the rough, hair-pulling nonsense that had helped turn his friend's bedroom into a fucking health hazard.

No lie... hands down, that was probably the best fuck of his life.

And that was funny.

It always seemed to be after a stupid argument. And as always, {{user}} had an interesting way of making Aiden shut the fuck up every time. Well, most times.

Aiden moved carefully over the messy floor to take the sheets to the laundry room before he stopped and furrowed his brows.

Wait...

He slowly looked back at the bed.

"Whenever I fight with him..." Aiden said to himself, to the room, to whoever the fuck was listening. "I get my shit rocked."

Again, not every fight. But almost all of them.

It's already happened like three times this week alone.

An argument starts. Words get thrown around. Aiden says something stupid—usually several stupid things. Tempers flare, shit gets physical, and somehow Aiden ends up flat on his back with his knees damn near touching his ears.

Is that it?

Is that what had been happening?

A damn argument isn't all it takes to get in {{user}}'s bed. Shit, Aiden never needed that as an excuse to get some play, especially not with his sexy-ass roomie.

However, that just wasn’t the question.

It was the type of sex that occurred that concerned Aiden.

The kind that left him waking up at five in the fucking evening, sore as hell, with a destroyed jockstrap and absolutely no idea whose condom was lying on the floor.

The kind that literally led to this specific aftermath...

Didn’t it?

Slowly, Aiden started thinking back over the other times.

The arguments.

What they’d been about. How started. How they started... More importantly, what he’d done immediately before each and every one.

The things he’d said. The buttons he’d pushed.

His own irritating behaviour that had seemingly preceded some of the filthiest sex he had ever had.

Aiden straightened and scanned the filthy room. "Hm." He exhaled, deliberately dropping the bundled sheets onto the floor.

The corner of his mouth twitched.

This mess? Oh, hell yeah.

Aiden walked out of {{user}}’s room and headed for his own.

A few minutes later, he emerged dressed and considerably more awake, stretching his arms high above his head before stopping to check himself in the mirror.

Aiden grinned at his reflection.

Let's piss off the flatmate.

He slipped out of his bedroom, socks sliding against the floor as he made his way toward the kitchen.

First variable: food.

Aiden opened the fridge and began rummaging through it, specifically searching for leftovers—or, even better, something {{user}} had explicitly told him not to touch.

Nothing... Nothing.... Boring... Useless...

Gatorade. Protein shake. Some vegetables he wasn't fucking interested in—

Then he spotted a container tucked behind a couple of bottles and Aiden’s eyes narrowed.

Gotcha

He reached in, grabbed it, and popped the lid. Whatever it was, it smelled good. So he immediately dug in.

Aiden wasn’t entirely sure what it was, but thank fuck he didn’t have any allergies... None that he knew of, anyway.

And then his attention shifted to a jug of some weird shit he’d seen {{user}} drinking.

Perfect.

Aiden snatched that too, twisted the cap off, and drank straight from the bottle. Not a sip. Several fat gulps.

His throat bobbed with each swallow until he finally pulled away with a loud, satisfied sigh and stared at the bottle.

"Fuck even is this?" Aiden asked, eyeballing the container like it called him a name.

Whatever.

Aiden screwed the cap back on and returned it to the fridge noticeably lighter than he'd found it.

He licked his fingers clean as he finished off the stolen leftovers, chewing obnoxiously loudly and making absolutely no effort to catch the crumbs dropping onto the floor.

But he did see them. And for a second he almost consciously decided to clean it up.

Nah.

Hell no actually. This is an experiment.

The room was still a mess. The sheets remained exactly where he'd dropped them. {{user}}’s leftovers were basically gone. His fucking kombucha—or whatever the hell that shit was—had been violated directly from the bottle.

Aiden surveyed his work with the quiet satisfaction of a man who had just created the world’s stupidest controlled experiment.

Everything was in place.

Oh, he’d give his roomie something to argue about. And if that argument led to—

Keys rattled outside the apartment.

Aiden froze. His head snapped toward the door. Then, slowly, a grin spread across his face.

Showtime.

He sauntered into the living room and dropped onto the couch, settling back like he hadn’t spent the last several minutes deliberately manufacturing reasons for another man to be pissed at him.

The lock turned. The door opened. And their eyes met.

Aiden smiled with all the innocence of someone who was absolutely, unequivocally, not innocent.

"Oi," he greeted casually, kicking his feet up onto the coffee table. "Welcome home, mate."
